Am I anemic?

My doctor says she’s not worried about these levels, but my hair is falling out pretty significantly, and I have every single symptom of anemia. Is it worth getting a second opinion? If so- what kind of doctors/practitioners/treatment could help? I also have celiac, gastroparesis, methane sibo, and global dissacharidase deficiency, so I don’t think I’m absorbing very much from iron from food.

Ferritin: 17

Iron Saturation: 12

hematocrit and hemoglobin are around the lowest number of the normal range.
